While tradition is obviously the hallmark of the Artwood series, the company’s decades-long search for the ultimate in acoustic tone has contributed to design alterations that give Artwood a voice all its own.

The dreadnought body shape of the AW400, along with the solid Sitka Spruce top, delivers enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end. The guitars full sound is the result of using a solid spruce top with mahogany as a back-and-side material. A special satin finish treatment to the back and sides means less overall finish is applied to the guitar allowing it to breathe better. A Fishman Sonicore Pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into, while the Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp provides the extra punch of on-board EQ, and the convenience of an easy-to-read digital tuner located on the upper bout.

What started as a simple string and pedal sales catalog has grown exponentially over the past thirty years. The early days were a time where catalogs didn't have much of a presence in the industry, but what began as a college dorm room operation grew rapidly. In 1986 we moved to a full product offering and 64-page catalog, which over the years has grown to 162 pages. Join the AMS family and get your free catalog now!
